Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

[Dannie Boy]

Wow!!!

The skies of Hua Hin are currently lit up by the most amazing electric storm ever. I've never seen anything like it.

I’ve never seen anything like it. It looks like War of the Worlds starring Tom Cruise. There’s pack of dogs to the east of me that are going absolutely apeshit. The wind is picking up, and I had a big tokay, and then a giant mantis try to get into my house. What the heck is coming?

Our garden was a mess this morning and the swimming pool, I’m sure had more debris in it than I can ever remember before - it took us 2 hours to clear everything up.

Pete, I use an app called Rain Viewer; while it does not have the rain accumulation, it does have radar and satellite layers and is reasonably accurate. You can specify which radar station you wish to use from a pull down list. A bit easier on the eye than the Windy app.

I saw the 'light show' but despite having the sprinklers on for several hours last night there was no sign of rain. I see the wind caused a mess in DB's garden but didn't even get any of that.
Some rain would be nice.

The wind here in Hin Lek Fai blew a few things over on the veranda, but the main thing was the epic lightning and then the two hours of moderate rain that followed. Very nice to break up the very hot days we’ve had lately.

Yes, I'm assuming that the 5.2mm of rain, recorded by ThaiMet at the weather station, fell in the early hours of this morning as you say

I saw the light show but no rain

This is a screen shot taken by one of our security cameras at 1 something in the morning. The squiggly bits are the rain!!

I've just scanned through our security camera footage. It was as if somebody flicked a switch at 12:30. The mega-impressive light show just downgraded to a regular storm after that.

The rain in the Soi 94 area started at about 1am, but nowhere near as squiggly as Dannie Boy's.

Hi Lek Fai rainfall last night was 5mm

Thunderstorms with gusty wind and hail are forecast for the North, the Northeast, the Central Plains including Bangkok, and the East from today to Monday.

The Meteorological Department warned on Friday that the southerly and southeasterly winds prevailing over upper Thailand will strengthen until Monday, while a moderate high-pressure system from China will extend to the North and the Northeast from Sunday to Monday.

With these conditions, outbreaks of thunderstorms with gusty wind and hail are expected in the North, the Northeast, the Central Plains, including Bangkok and its vicinity, and the East, according to the agency's weather report.

People are advised to stay away from large trees, billboards and unsecured structures during this period.

On Thursday night, storms and hail pounded Khon Kaen, Phitsanulok and Nakhon Ratchasima, damaging many houses.

In Khon Kaen, Peerapong Muenpong, head of the provincial disaster prevention and mitigation office, said on Friday that storms and hail damaged more than 200 houses in Waeng Yai, Ban Phai, Nong Rua and Nong Song Hong districts.

Officials were surveying damage in other areas, he added.

In Phitsanulok, more than 50 houses in four tambons in Muang districts were damaged with roofs blown away when storms and heavy rain hit the areas on Thursday night.

Local leaders and provincial disaster prevention and mitigation office officials on Friday morning surveyed damage in the affected areas.

In some areas, storms brought down some power poles and big trees.

In Nakhon Ratchasima, storms and gusty winds lashed out some areas in Bua Yai, Phimai and Kaeng Sanam Nang districts on Thursday evening.

Local authorities were surveying damage to houses and other structures in the affected areas.

Coming down hard here in Hin Lek Fai, with an occasional, loud rumble of thunder that is getting closer and closer.

I aborted my walk around the lake at Khao Tao about 9:30 this morning because the rain started, and it looked as if it would be quite a downpour. It just got steadily heavier while we drank our post (aborted) walk coffee.

Back to light rain here at the far end of 112. But very head rain with thunder for some time earlier
